Science teacher Nancy Balongit describes to Mr. Cipullo a chemistry experiment being performed by junior high school students in the school’s science laboratory, which was established by the PTCA with the assistance of a Matching Grant from USAID/GEM’s Education Awareness Support Effort. The science laboratory is used for biology, chemistry and physics classes.
